Hope you have your data backed up adequately. You should be able to get a new hard drive for it. http://www.newegg.com/ http://www.microcenter.com/ http://www.tigerdirect.com/ would all likely have a replacement drive for your system. Here's another site you might want to check out.... http://www.laptoprepair101.com/ Good luck with it. Reinforces my feeling about needing a backup solution for my home systems which I took care of with the HP Mediashare Windows home server that now backs up all my systems every night if they are left on. And it warns me when a system hasn't been backed up for a few days so it is a reminder to power it up and do a manual backup like I did with a couple systems on Saturday morning. http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/notebook/notebook_hp/home_servers/1/acces sories/GG795AA%2523ABA GK On 1/21/08, Tesiny, Ed <EdTesiny at oasas.state.ny.us> wrote: > Good morning all, > This morning when I started my laptop, it went into a cycle of reboots. > Booted it in safe mode and got a bunch of notices like > Multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows\system32\BootVID.....others plus > a bunch of drivers.
